Northwest Pipe Company has been a leading manufacturer of welded steel pipe since 1966. Key components of its IT environment were reaching end-of-life, at a time when increasing network traffic was saturating bandwidth, leading to “people complaining about apps not running the way they should.” The cost of separate solutions would be expensive. Instead, Northwest Pipe chose Riverbed. SteelHead solves the bandwidth saturation and app performance issues, and provides better visibility into app and network performance. SteelFusion eliminates the need for new servers at manufacturing sites – taking IT infrastructure out of the branch – and also secures manufacturing data by allowing it to be stored and managed centrally in the data center.

Having better visibility puts me so much further ahead of where I was. I’m able to troubleshoot much more clearly and see what's going on. It’s wonderful! There isn’t anybody else out there that offers a solution that could do all this. The applications are running the same or better than they did in the past. And we have all the protection we need for our data since it’s safe in the data center. Jonathan Harris, Network Engineer, Northwest Pipe

To put it simply, maintaining our BPW server on-premise was not going to work in its current form without Riverbed. We’ve been able to take advantage of the scalability and cost savings of cloud, without having to sacrifice performance as a result Chris Uusimaki, ICT Manager, AllightSykes

Before using Riverbed, it took users in Italy and India 30 minutes to start running a specific application; following the optimization, it now only takes ten seconds. SteelCentral helped us locate a problem with the underlying network protocols, and we used SteelHead to resolve this issue Xavier Plautard, Group IT Infrastructure Manager, BOBST Group
